- W'ith these objects in view' my 7 consists in certain novel featuresofconstruction and arrangement of parts, as will be hereinafter fullydescribed and pointed out" inythe claims, reference being held to theaccompanying drawings in which: I

Fig. 1 is a plan view of a pocket holden l constructed according to thisinvention'the holder being'unfolded. j, I I

which is in form of a flat strip of leather or. reinforced paper, orother suitable-material or combination thereof. This body portion A isfolded into substantial folds of equal 4 length to form folds'orsections 3, 3, 3",3,v

3, the folded portion of thebody between the sections 3, 3 isfoldedinwardly on the line 4. As a further. part of my invention 1. have thesleeve 5 shown in Figs. 3 and 4, with its folded over ends 6, 6, thesleeve 5 is slipped @1 1; de t es reasonof' the crimp orcreaseformed, v

of the body A. Inthis position thesleeve i 5 forms with its securelyfolded formation,

a pocket in which the folded sections of strip A are the sides of thepocket and pencils may be slipped between the folded sections 8v and 3',and cards and papers slipped in between the outer face of section 3- or3 as shown in Fig. 7 and the inner face of the sleeve 5, 1.20

thus adjacent pockets are formed by the folds and the sleeve with itssliding open ends 6, 6 permits a yielding pocket opening adapted toremovably receive articles of varied thickness, but the ends 6, 6' ofthe sleeve, by reason of their length prevent a disengagement of thesleeve from the folds, and thus the pocket is held secure. The case isclosed by folding the outer section 3 over on the inner sections 3 or3', the sides or faces are 3" and 3' as shown in Fig. 2, form inclinedguides adapted to receive the pens or pencils, and

direct them into place between these folds and pencil points may rest inthe pocket of the case between the section 3""and 3", at

the line of fold; while sleeve 5 inclosing. the folds prevents thepencils from slipping out at the side, and in a similar way cards ormemorandum papers are held.

,Having thus described my invention what I claim as new, and forwhich Idesire Letters Patent is as follows; p

1. A pocket holder comprising a strip of flexible material foldedintermediate its ends 6 to 'form a plurality of sections, the first andsecond sections of the folded strip forming the cover with the otherfolded sections adapted to be folded between the cover sections, and asleeve slidably mounted over the folded sections between the covers,said sleeve being formed with overlapping free; inner ends which arepressed together between the cover sections.

2. A pocket holder comprising'a rectangular flat body portion formed offlexible sheet material adapted to be folded] trans versely intosections of equal length to provide'inner sides and covers for theholder and an inelastic sleeve slidably mounted over signature.

the inner sides, said sleeve formed with overlapping disengaged innerends and constituting the'ends for the holder. w

3. A pocket holder comprising a flat strip folded on transverse lines toprovide inner 5: sides and covers for the holder, and an inelasticsleeve slidably mounted over the inner sides between the covers, saidsleeve'having lapped ends disposed between adjacent folds and formingthe ends of the holder.

In testimony whereof I have afiixed my FRANK N. GILBERT."
